About this event
Join our conference on November 17th to be inspired, informed and help WEDO Alberta reimagine what success means for women during the next chapter of our province’s economy.
Women entrepreneurs and women in business, we invite you to the 3rd annual Women's Entrepreneurship Day Summit in Calgary on November 17th, 2022.
Through our theme of Courage to Lead, we will be showcasing female speakers and panelists, including CEOs, owners of businesses and powerhouses entrepreneurs, in this fantastic full-day event!
A bit about our theme; The global pandemic put a significant strain on businesses, particularly women-owned businesses, in 2020 and 2021.
Women left the workforce 2 to 1 compared to men due to the challenge of managing childcare, homeschooling and a career. In the US, 2 million women and in Canada 500,000 left the workforce during the pandemic.
Women-owned businesses were particularly hard hit over the last 18 months; many had to shut their doors. Those that have endured have had to dig deep to pivot their businesses, all while juggling work-life balance.
This is why our 2022 theme is The Courage to Lead. It has taken herculean strength and resilience to survive and, for some, thrive through these challenging times, and we are here to celebrate our achievements together!
WEDO Canada supports women. As part of that support, we will again be awarding scholarships to deserving young women in colleges and universities pursuing an education in business or STEM at each of our summits across Canada.
